Share Your Faith Workshop
Do you feel unsure how to lead someone to Christ or uncomfortable knowing how to steer the conversation in that way? As we learn about defending our faith through the weekend, the workshop will be geared toward giving you some tools and helps to give you the confidence to share your faith! We will have two speakers for the workshop, Kelley will be with the adults and John will be with the youth.
